Run from Stanton Optical. The sketchiest doctor. Plus they don’t answer phone EVER. As a policy it goes to corporate. Terrible service just a get ‘em in and take their money and disappear kinda place.

Try a smaller grocery stores like Harter House, Asian grocery store, etc. The larger ones can be required to recycle them. I found some this month at Apple Market for my move in Ozark.

Goodwill has GED/High School for adults 21+ I believe. Good luck!

They are licensed by the state and legally obligated to follow the regulations and laws as a pharmacy. Patient safety in the pharmacy is a completely separate consideration from their retail activity.

Walgreen’s first obligation is patient safety and health. You may not have medications that you depend on to live and feel well, but I and many others do. The manager definitely has control and can himself report the failings to the board of pharmacy if he doesn’t have the resources he needs to operate safely.

I have spent multiple hours in line two to three times a month at this location for more than six months. On top of routine meds not being available on time, anywhere from 2-3 or even 5 days late a couple times. These meds are now filled offsite instead of at the location, btw.

It’s frustrating and unacceptable. Now I go at 6 a.m. and have slightly better luck. I finally talked to the manager (who says they are constantly hiring techs but everyone leaves within a few weeks). I said they need to raise wages and improve conditions then. He blew me off.

I also filled out a survey online and reported everything to the Missouri Board of Pharmacy. There are regulations about customers/patients having reliable, timely access to their medications.

I’d avoid Mercy like the plague if you can help it. Unfortunately many doctors have left the system and they are having incredible problems staffing doctors and nurses. Months of inappropriate waits for appointments. Second rate and travel providers make for a frustrating experience. Skeleton office staff means very slow responses, slow rx to pharmacy, non existent follow up, lots of errors and delays from inexperienced staff. The buildings and facilities are in overall bad shape.

That pure conjecture and you know it. Can’t you disagree with real arguments?

For the rest of the city, this is an objective issue about development and business and the needs of Springfield. For you and your neighbors it is an emotional decision.

Development is meant to meet the needs of the entire community. You may get a voice, but it’s far from the only one considered. City leaders, engineers and the business and education community fully support this project.Full speed ahead!

When you don’t understand how development works…

The house has been empty for years. That’s probably just basic electricity turned on there.

They are against every proposed development that has been offered up. Pure NIMBY.

Well today is the day voters approve it so will all of you be quiet after that? You don’t own the roads, the park, or the development in this town. It’s getting a little obnoxious.

I also recently left Walgreens after many years after short staffing leads to late routine refills, 2 med errors and hour long waits any time an rx needs to be picked up. This was at Battlefield and Campbell.

Moved my prescriptions to Price Cutter Battlefield Road for simplicity. Works great and much more personal and experienced staff.

Walgreens jumped the shark since COVID and aren’t committed to proper staffing or service. I got sick of hearing “but COVID” and “but we can’t get staff” with no real attempt to solve problems.

The city engineering staff does not seem to agree with you sentiments. This developer has done his due diligence and followed guidelines the same as other developers all over town. If you believe development guidelines should be more robust, take it up with the city.

City Parks are often in flood plains. It’s in a flood plain regardless. Proper planning and execution has solved problems like this all over town. Wastewater engineers at the city and bonded, certified professionals hired by the developer are perfectly capable. They have planned this development well and met city requirements. There isn’t an objective argument to NOT develop land around the park. Just more NIMBY. We need more housing in Springfield. Apartment dwellers deserve parks too. Top employers in Springfield are depending on it. We can’t hire the types of talent our businesses need to succeed because of our housing situation.

Just because you own a home in a neighborhood does not mean you can stop all development around you. It’s not an appropriate expectation.

Yes. We need more housing options if business and industry is going to grow in Springfield. Everyone deserves a decent place to live near our parks. It does nothing to the park itself, it’s the high income neighbors who say “not in my backyard” type arguments. Galloway residents are no more important than anyone else. They can’t completely control all development for miles around them because “traffic”.
